[hibernate-dev] [SEARCH] @Indexed on abstract classes

Hi Search team, I have this question for a long time but, this time, having 30 (and growing) indexed entities inheriting from an abstract class, I thought I might as well ask about it... Is there any reason why we can't set the @Indexed annotation on the abstract class to get all the implementations indexed in their separate indexes? This way, I wouldn't have to put the annotation on each implementation and think about adding it each time I extend this abstract class. Another painful things that beats me yesterday is that I cannot do: searchFactory.buildQueryBuilder().forEntity(MyAbstractEntity.class).get(); to build Lucene queries based on the common indexed fields of the abstract class: I'm forced to use one of the concrete implementation (and apart that it's not that nice, I'm not that confident I can choose one that will never be removed from the code base). Thanks for your feedback. -- Guillaume
